5A has some teams that could beat anyone in 6A, especially Olympus and Orem. The RPI is going to be valuable this season as a few teams might get leap-frogged due to a soft schedule. A lot of talent in 5A especially in the class of 2023.
Dropping Out
Lehi High School
Northridge High School
Brighton High School
1.Olympus (1) 2-0 : Olympus has that bullseye on their back as they continue to plow through the competition. Fremont game should be an interesting one. Both teams run good sets.
2. Orem (2) 4-0 : Orem is right on the heels of the top dog in 5A as they played some talented 6A teams and beat them. Orem might have a higher RPI but we will see.
3. Alta (3) 1-1 : Tough loss to open up against PG but Alta is just different this year. Look for them to compete against anyone.
4. Skyline (4) 3-0 : Shooting the ball well and they have a lot of guards that can hurt you out in the perimeter.
5. Woods Cross (9) 2-0 : Big time win against Copper Hills as Woods Cross looks to prove to everyone that they’re for real.
6. Murray (6) 2-0 : Murray is off to a great start as they have a deep team that can hurt you in many ways.
7. Bountiful (NR) 2-0 : Bountiful has cracked the Top 10 with a solid win over Lehi.
8. Springville (NR) 2-0 : Sprigville is under the radar no more. This team is tough and they are physical.
9. Timpview (NR) 1-2 : Timpview has some pieces and they look better every time they hit the floor.
10. Payson (NR) 3-0 : Payson is another surprise team from Southern Utah County making some noise.
